What's your definition of "illegal" orders? According to who or what?

likesmart

The Geneva Conventions, Laws of Armed Conflict, and the US Constitution are all sources to consult as pertains to illegal/unlawful/immoral/unethical orders to troops.

Trump and his cabinet of lickspittles are behaving as though they’ll never be held to account for any of this. And as Trump was able to evade justice for his attempted coup in 2020-1, it’s not the worst bet. But history and war crimes tribunals take a very dim view on what they’re doing. The kind of view that often ends with people in hangman’s nooses.

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts
